He's pretty much been a first liner despite getting some of the worst usage on this team: constantly being stapled to our least productive and least engaged middle sixers.

You know before I saw Bennett move to a different team and start absolutely lighting it up like a first liner I would have probably said something like "You know obviously the coaches haven't seen a consistent enough *insert generic hockey adjective* from Andrew and are just making sure he knows he has to earn his ice time." And i would have been been wrong, because I was wrong. This team just doesn't know what it's doing, from the top down. I have lost all faith in this organization to identify talent, put players in the best position to succeed, and just frankly do the right thing. This team deserves to miss the playoffs.
